Towards a Benchmark Platform for Measuring the Energy Consumption of Database Systems
Yong Jian Jin, Baoping Xing, Peiquan Jin · 2013
In this paper, we present the idea and design of a benchmark platform named DBPower, which are integrated with software and hardware, for measuring the energy consumption of database systems. It made up of energy test equipment, data collection equipment, test computer, data analysis computer, and the data analysis software. Combined with the traditional performance metrics, DBPower can precisely test the energy efficiency of each component of database systems. By using the modular test architecture, we can get the energy consumption data of each component, so we can accurately understand the difference in energy consumption between different DBMS algorithms. Based on the platform, we can understand the relationship between performance and energy consumption of DBMS, building foundation for the green database research.
